Good question.  I remember all those varactor tripler circuits and wonder
what is the modern day device equivalent to high level mixing at UHF?  I
need to mix two 5 watt or so signals and end up with a signal in the UHF
range.  Ive seen one circuit that just massively paralled dozens of
1N4148 switching diodes...
